| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses the application of herbicides on highway turf, focusing on the potential costs and benefits of their use. Suggests that herbicide applications may "increase highway safety," "eliminate toxic plants such as poison ivy," and "keep water drainage areas free of weeds and brush which impede water flow." Details a cost study conducted in Ohio in 1955, where "they reported a cost of $126.62 per mile per season for mowing areas not sprayed with 2,4-D [2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid] and a cost of $108.17 per mile for both mowing and cost of chemical treatment, for a savings of $18.45 per mile by use of an herbicide." Briefly addresses potentially effective chemicals for use and concludes that "the highway departments will be hard pressed in finding the manpower to operate equipment to maintain present and proposed highways. The extended use of herbicides, commonly used in other fields, can be adapted to highways to reduce costs." |
